FIRST Tech Challenge
About the FIRST Tech Challenge
FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) is a robotics competition program under FIRST®, a nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring young people to engage in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). In FTC, teams design, build, and program robots to compete in annual challenges while documenting their engineering process and presenting their work to judges. Through hands-on learning, FTC develops collaboration, problem-solving, and other essential life skills that prepare students for the future, all while having fun.
Our Mission!
We are a passionate FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) robotics team dedicated to building robots, developing strong technical skills, and making a positive impact in our community through STEM education and outreach.
Guided by experienced adult coaches and mentors, our students design, build, and program robots using Java, apply real-world engineering principles, and use 3D printing to prototype and refine custom robot components. Through hands-on learning, teamwork, and iterative problem-solving, students gain valuable experience in robotics, coding, and engineering.
Meet our Team!
Team 31053 – FTX Combobulators is a FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) robotics rookie team this year 2025-2026 and dedicated to inspiring students through hands-on STEM learning.
Guided by experienced adult coaches and mentors, students develop strong technical skills while applying real-world engineering principles.
Team members program their robot using Java, follow the engineering design process, and use 3D printing to design, prototype, and refine custom robot components. Through collaboration, problem-solving, and iterative improvement, students gain practical experience in robotics, coding, and engineering.
Beyond technical skills, FTX Combobulators emphasizes the importance of teamwork, innovation, perseverance, and hard work. Our team strives to foster creativity, confidence, and a passion for STEM while preparing students for future academic and career success.
